What is Wrong With You? Michelle Savages Trump’s Attack on Improving School Lunches

Trump Attacks American Children in his rollback of healthy school lunches.

'What Is Wrong with You?' Michelle Obama Savages Trump for Gutting regulations to help improve school lunches.

Former first lady attacks president’s reversal of regulations to help improve school lunches: ‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

Why would Trump and the GOP attack on your children and your children's health?

Michelle repeatedly said take me out of the equation, take politics out of the equation. This is not a partisan topic - it's the well being of your children.

‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

On this Mother's Day think about if it would be OK for you as a mother to allow the President or any politician who is 'OK with your kids eating crap' to determine what your children eat?

“This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think: why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you?” said Michelle.

And think about the only people who benefit from this. The manufactures who are able to manufacture cheap food to feed your children and fatten their profits. And of course there are the other beneficiaries. The politicians who accepted large political donations and dark money contributions to keep them in office.

The Republican politicians and the president they helped elect have already demonstrated that they won't stand up for your children.

It's up to the mother's of the United States to stand up for their children.

On this Mother's Day the question is are your children for sale?

Are you willing to stay quiet and let Trump and the Republican party (also known as the GOP or Guardians OF Privilege) sell your child's health to the highest bidder?

Death Panels are Real

Death panels are real. Trump and the GOP yesterday were celebrating the potential deaths of 20-40 thousand Americans per year that were estimated to die each year because of the passage of Trumpcare. You probably saw the newsfeeds from the Rosegarden where Republicans were slapping each other on the back, cheering and celebrating the passage of Trumpcare. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 24 million Americans would lose their healthcare under the earlier failed version of Trumpcare. It didn't matter that millions of Americans were worried and had concerns.

In their rush to jam the bill down the throats of Americans they did not even wait for a review before they took the vote. They knew the only way to get this past even members of their own party was by hiding the facts and through stealth and speed. The memory of how the tide turned against the 1st Failed Trumpcare bill after the Congressional Budget Office came out showing that 24 million Americans would lose their health care was fresh in Republicans' memory. Trump and the Republicans didn't want to risk telling the American people what they really were going to lose.

Remember these cuts are being made to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Because that is really who the Republican party supports. The GOP party doesn't stand for Grand Old Party - the party representing you and me. GOP really stands for Guardians of Privilege.

Americans Are Just Beginning To Unleash Their Superpower!

American Consumer Spending Makes Up 70% of the GDP. This is an American Superpower that has been largely untapped until now.

Democracy Needs Your Help
